A demonstrative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to point to something specific within a sentence. These pronouns can indicate items in space or time, and they can be either singular or plural. When used to represent a thing or things, demonstrative pronouns can be either near or far in distance or time: Near in time or distance: this, these Far in time or distance: that, those Because there are only a few demonstrative pronouns in the English language, there are just three simple rules for using them correctly. Remember them and you will have no difficulty using these surprisingly interesting parts of speech. Demonstrative pronouns always identify nouns, whether those nouns are named specifically or not. For example: “I can’t believe this.” We have no idea what “this” is, but it’s definitely something the writer cannot believe. It exists, even though we don’t know what it is. Demonstrative pronouns are usually used to describe animals, places, or things, however they can be used to describe people when the person is identified, i.e., This sounds like Mary singing. Do not confuse demonstrative adjectives with demonstrative pronouns. The words are identical, but demonstrative adjectives qualify nouns, whereas demonstrative pronouns stand alone. Demonstrative pronouns can be used in place of a noun, so long as the noun being replaced can be understood from the pronoun’s context.

These are nice shoes, but they look uncomfortable. Those look like riper than the apples on my tree. Such was her command over the English language. None of these answers are correct. Neither of the horses can be ridden What Is a Demonstrative Pronoun? Everyone might be familiar with the word ‘demo’. The word demo is most commonly used as an acronym for demonstration. Demonstration means to indicate, identify, point out, exhibit or explain something to someone. A demonstrative pronoun is used to do the same thing. It demonstrates or represents the nouns that act as the subject or object in a sentence. Definition of a Demonstrative Pronoun The Cambridge Dictionary defines demonstrative words as ‘words, for example “this”, “that”, “these”, and “those”, that show which person or thing is being referred to.’ The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines it as a word that is used for ‘pointing out the one referred to and distinguishing it from others of the same class.’ How to Use Demonstrative Pronouns – Rules and Examples
